What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionMental health challenges and suicidal behaviors represent a significant public health concern. This study examines the associations between school connectedness, perceived racial discrimination, and mental health outcomes among U.S. high school students.
methodsData were drawn from the 2023 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, a nationally representative survey of high school students in the United States. Primary independent variables included school connectedness and perceived racial discrimination, with a composite measure derived to represent the intersection of these two factors. Dependent variables were poor mental health, suicidal thoughts, and suicide attempts. Multivariable logistic regression models were employed to analyze these relationships.
resultsThe findings indicate that lower school connectedness and higher perceived racial discrimination are significantly associated with poor mental health, suicidal thoughts, and suicide attempts. Specifically, students reporting lower school connectedness and higher perceived racial discrimination had significantly higher odds of poor mental health (OR = 1.39, 95% CI = 1.32 - 1.46), suicidal ideation (OR = 1.42, 95% CI = 1.35 - 1.50), and suicide attempts (OR = 1.37, 95% CI = 1.29 - 1.45). Furthermore, a dose-response association was observed, wherein the frequency of perceived racial discrimination was associated with progressively higher odds of experiencing adverse mental health outcomes.
conclusionThis study reveals significant associations between lower school connectedness, perceived racial discrimination, and adverse mental health among adolescents. These findings underscore the importance of fostering supportive school environments to promote positive adolescent health.
